Chapter 268: Common Tribulation
"That's right! He was in Ann County. Seeing Luo Qianyao's face full of joy in an instant, Zhang Xiaotian silently broke her illusion: "But even if you know now that he is really in Anxian County, with your current situation, you won't be able to see him!"
One sentence knocked Luo Qianyao into the bottom of the water again.
Zhang Xiaotian is right, even if Luo Qianyao wants to see her father, it is not so easy to meet.
The accompanying big man took them to a neighboring county not far from Anxian, originally this group of people planned to bring them directly to Anxian, but Anxian didn't know what was going on now, there were many more officers and soldiers on guard, and Luo Qianyao's group couldn't get in.
If the inn is at least open on weekdays, let alone open now, even a normal restaurant can't be seen, and a few people can only find a place to rest, thinking about observing the situation before moving on. The group of people in Dahan brought enough food in their hands, but it was only distributed to Luo Qianyao, but they were still a poor nest head with little dryness, which made her look extremely dissatisfied!
Even if something is unpalatable, and it doesn't make people eat enough, isn't that a sin?
"Why is this here?" Because she had seen the ruthless side of the big man before, although Luo Qianyao was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to speak loudly, so she could only complain in a low voice.
"Don't you want to eat?" Dahan glanced at Luo Qianyao coldly, and said indifferently: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat it, just leave the rations, give it to my group of brothers!" ”
"Master, she's joking." Zhang Xiaotian pulled Luo Qianyao behind him and said with a smile to those people: "It's just that it's been a day's journey now, you only give such a little, you won't be able to eat when the time comes, and won't you have the strength to speak when you're hungry?" It doesn't matter if we're hungry then, don't delay you, right? ”
Compared with Luo Qianyao's words, it is obvious that Zhang Xiaotian's words are more comfortable for those people to listen to. Wen Yan took out another nest head from the baggage and threw it to Zhang Xiaotian: "It's really troublesome, take it, eat it slowly, don't ask me for anything to eat later!" ”
"Hey! You ......" Luo Qianyao looked at the nest head in Zhang Xiaotian's hand, some of them couldn't open their mouths, although the nest head was a little unpalatable, but one really couldn't eat enough. When he thought that Zhang Xiaotian would ignore her, the other party stretched out his hand and stuffed the things in his hand into her palm: "Okay, eat!" ”
Luo Qianyao laughed happily all of a sudden, and when she was about to take a bite of her mouth, she suddenly thought of something a little embarrassed and a little awkward: "That...... Don't you eat it? Looking at Zhang Xiaotian when she spoke, she couldn't eat enough for a woman, let alone a big man, which made the hungry Luo Qianyao lose any appetite all of a sudden.
"I ate it when I first came, you eat, I'm not hungry." Zhang Xiaotian waved his hand very casually.
"No! No way! People are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic! Luo Qianyao didn't know where the crooked truth came from, or the reason why she stayed with Zhang Xiaotian for a long time, sometimes she seemed very down-to-earth, and the reason was the same, breaking the head of the nest and half: "How can I eat alone what you take?" Let's eat together! ”
After speaking, I don't know if I was shy or what, I deliberately didn't look at Zhang Xiaotian's expression, I avoided his inquiring eyes, hugged my legs and ate in small gulps.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaotian smiled lightly, took the nest head in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite, it was a little hard! It's just that the atmosphere of the two people has changed a little subtly.
On the second day, the people didn't know if they had enough rest or what, but after the group got up, they gathered around to discuss countermeasures: "What do you think? ”
"I think, we can't stay here, we don't have much food, we will always finish eating when we stay here, it's better to find a way to sneak into Anxian County now and see what the situation is inside."
"Yes, I think so too, sitting here is afraid that I will miss the best opportunity." Those people have a task on their bodies, so naturally they can't be like other disaster victims, they don't care about everything, they have to get by for a day, they can go to Anxian if they can go to Anxian, and if they can't go to Anxian, they will go elsewhere.
"In that case, let's go! The carriage can no longer be ridden, and if you go like this, you may be caught and asked. "But what are they going to do with the wagons?
"If you want to leave the carriage here, leave two people in the field and wait for news." If something really happens at that time, and you can't get the news of their return, you have to go to report to the master of Xia Guo.
In this way, a group of big men happily decided that Zhang Xiaotian and Luo Qianyao belonged to the two who did not have the right to vote independently, and people felt that they just had to follow behind other people's butts. A few people got into the carriage, and when they were about to arrive in Anxian County, they listened to it from a distance of a mile, and the other two drove back.
"How far do we have to go?" Luo Qianyao stretched out her hand and hung her knees squeamishly, facing the scorching sun at noon, her whole body was as if she had just come out of the water, and her whole body was covered with sweat, which was simply unbearable.
The big man didn't have time to take care of this delicate little girl, Luo Qianyao pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to show her dissatisfaction and complain, so she could only cast her eyes on Zhang Xiaotian: "I'm so tired?!" Feed? Are you tired? ”
"I'm not tired." For Zhang Xiaotian, it was a little hotter, and this road was not difficult for him, who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, the next moment Luo Qianyao's face showed joy, she twisted her calf, took a kitten step, and said shyly: "But I'm still tired, so since you're not tired, it's better to ............
"No, it's better to ...... Don't think about it, I won't say yes. Before he finished speaking, he was denied by Zhang Xiaotian.
"But I really can't walk!" If Zhang Xiaotian can take the initiative to stand up and say that he wants to be Luo Qianyao, of course it would be great, but this wooden pimple, he doesn't know the style of his little daughter at all, and he doesn't know how to be empathetic at all, so Luo Qianyao can only take the initiative to speak: "So ......"
"No so!" Zhang Xiaotian calmly refused again, Luo Qianyao's so-called strange theory of throwing away the generosity of men and women, and pulling face to let him take advantage.
"You wood! What a piece of wood! This girl kindly asked you to recite ......, "I, but you ......
"Thank you for your kindness, I don't need it." Zhang Xiaotian turned around, waited for Luo Qianyao for a while, and then whispered back to her: "But if you are louder now, those people in front will definitely agree to carry your delicate little girl and rub oil by the way, even if they don't agree at that time, they will throw you to the side of the road to let you rest and cool off!" ”
Zhang Xiaotian's mouth has always been so damaged, Luo Qianyao, a little girl, has been rejected again and again, standing bravely again and again, defeated again and again, stomped her feet, and said angrily: "Do you think I am such a casual person?" You wood! A wooden man who doesn't understand the style! Hum! ”
Suddenly overtook Zhang Xiaotian from behind to the front, Zhang Xiaotian looked at her powerful calves a little strangely, and wondered: "Don't you have the strength to walk?" Why did you pretend you couldn't walk just now? ”
A passer-by in front of him who couldn't walk walked faster, and his body exuded resentment that he didn't know where it came from.
As in the previous situation on the borders of Xia and Qiushan, entering Anxian County would only be allowed to enter after a simple inspection. Although Anxian County was only a very small county seat in Qiushan Country before, and there was not even a city gate, it did not prevent those soldiers from inspecting at this moment.
Zhang Xiaotian looked at the simple "city gate" that had been temporarily erected in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and at the same time, he guessed in his heart, what was going on in Anxian County? Why is it suddenly so heavily guarded that even the city gates are there? The big man who took the lead told Zhang Xiaotian and Luo Qianyao a few words, and then stepped forward to talk to the soldiers guarding the door.
"Go, go, hurry up and get in line!" There are a lot of people who want to enter Anxian County, and there are a lot of people sparsely lined up at the door at this time, which is much more popular than the neighboring counties where the big men settled before.
"Official, I don't want to go in, I just want to ask you, isn't there a drought everywhere? Why do so many people go to Anxian County? The tone and attitude of the officers and soldiers are not very good, it is not that the big man cares, what he cares about is that Anxian is a little different from what he thought about before he came, so now he just came and ran around like a headless fly, which always makes people unable to feel at ease.
"Why are you asking so much?" The officer and soldier accepted the silver that the big man stuffed into the palm of his hand, but the officer and soldier were obviously not so easy to fool, and the money was accepted, but his face was still very bad, and he didn't have anything to do because the person in front of him was a rich man: "Anyway, it's an order from above, even if I tell you, you don't understand, okay, don't stand here and obstruct official business, let's go!" ”
The big man was driven back.
"How's it going?" The people waiting on the side saw the big man frowning, guessing if things were not going well.
"No, these people won't say." As soon as he came to Anxian County, it didn't go well at the beginning, and Dahan's face was a little unsightly.
"Is it that the money given is not enough, do you want to ask again?" The other man spoke up again. He knew that the big man had a lot of silver taels on him, and since those people refused to say it at this time, he was absolutely sure that the silver was too little: "You think it's enough to give money, but the soldier said that it was an order from above, even if you give more money, it's useless!" ”
The big man kicked his companion in relief.
"Well, let me ask!" Zhang Xiaotian listened to it for a long time and stood up by himself.
"Just you?" When Dahan heard the voice, his eyes fell on Zhang Xiaotian's body, and the two words he opened revealed his full distrust and doubts about Zhang Xiaotian: "I can't even inquire about anything, boy, do you think you can still inquire about flowers?" ”
"You let me try, how do you know I can't do it if I don't try?" Zhang Xiaotian said calmly.
"Hey! You kid don't want to run away, do you? Zhang Xiaotian suddenly proposed, Dahan had to doubt, after all, there was a precedent of Luo Qianyao, so it was difficult for Zhang Xiaotian to gain Dahan's trust.
"Don't worry, I won't run away, if you don't believe me, you can come with me!" Zhang Xiaotian is fearless.
